(93) Go your own way and let others do the talking
"Go your own way and let others do the talking!" This wise saying has been passed down for a long time and has a wide influence. It inspires people that as long as you go right, don't care about what "human words are terrible", and go firmly to the end!
At that time, Dante faced the feudal autocracy of the Middle Ages and the high pressure of the Church, preaching freedom and democracy and advocating the Renaissance, which inevitably attracted many sieges and all kinds of persecution. Dante was fearless and made this solemn oath, which is the pursuit of light, this is the contempt for the forces of decay, this is the defense of self-improvement.
The manifestation of individuality and the birth of something new are quite difficult. The history of human civilization for thousands of years proves that there are always people who regard "individuality" and "rebirth" as "heresy", so they hate them to the core, blame them, and even exclude them, attack them, and even persecute and destroy them. Didn't the Roman Church burn Bruno alive as a heretic? But this did not shake the faith and will of the heretics, even at the cost of blood, they still went their own way. The rings of time prove the correctness and greatness of a heresy like Bruno: "Fire cannot conquer me, but the coming centuries will know me and know my worth." Countless examples prove that in order to be successful in terms of innovation and individuality, it is necessary to "go your own way and let others do the talking!" ”
Today, we are already in the 21 st century of information technology and knowledge economy, China's comprehensive national strength needs to be improved urgently, and the four modernizations must be realized at an early date. Innovation projects must first rely on education, and the key to education is teachers. Without teachers, the improvement of students' quality and the formation of their ability to innovate are simply empty words. Students are the new force of the four modernizations, and tomorrow's sun, if they cannot be self-reliant and self-reliant, and have both ability and political integrity, the realization of the four modernizations will be in vain. Therefore, teachers should emancipate their minds and forge ahead.
The task of education at the present stage is to improve quality and innovation. This kind of innovative education is an education oriented toward cultivating people's innovative spirit and creative ability, and it is an education that focuses on studying and solving the problem of how to cultivate a sense of innovation, an innovative spirit, and a creative ability in basic education in order to meet the challenges of a knowledge-based economy in the course of comprehensively implementing quality education.
Renew the teaching philosophy, change the teaching method and learning method.
Traditional teaching has three centers: teachers, students, and textbooks. Teachers are in a position of control, one word hall; Students are in a passive position, listening out of their ears. Teachers should break through the traditional teaching concept and update the teaching concept. Teachers are the leader, and students are the subjects. The leading role of teachers is to guide students to participate in learning actively, actively and fully, give full play to their potential, improve their quality and form their innovation ability, so as to master knowledge and skills, and then become talents who can not only make contributions to the realization of the four modernizations but also seek personal happiness. In the third grade of my class this year, the students in the first and second grades learned the method by the teacher and the students listened, so they lost their interest in learning. After I took over, there was a big change: bilateral activities, allowing students to read books by themselves and use their brains and hands, at first they were not used to getting busy. Soon, they went along with the fight, had a strong interest, changed from passive to active, and reached all the staff, which was the first step. The second step is to teach students a complete thinking structure, which includes the whole process of operation. This is to enable students to have a good cognitive structure and combine theory and practice, which is to complete the leap from emphasizing knowledge to emphasizing conclusions and processes. The law of learning is: knowledge - skills - ability. Knowledge requires students to cognitive, understand, and master, and then use the knowledge they have mastered to draw conclusions through a scientific derivation system (thinking process) (that is, starting from the analysis of the question stem, establishing the angle, standardizing the thinking, analyzing and judging, and deriving the conclusion), and the teacher will make a point-to-eye evaluation. The third step is variant training. After the whole thinking structure (derivation process) is taught, it is necessary to take a step higher, how to draw conclusions accurately and quickly, guide students to think from the front, the back, the side and other aspects, understand the connotation and extension of knowledge, and the contradictory relationship between the knowledge points, which are independent and complementary, and synthesize each knowledge point or draw a conclusion with a key knowledge point, which is fast and accurate. That's the skill. The fourth step is to migrate. Modern "Pedagogy" and "Psychology" believe that students' learning, that is, the possession of the knowledge and experience of their predecessors, goes through four stages: understanding→ memory→ transfer→ application. Migration is a key part. In Psychology, transfer is the effect of one type of learning on another. Modern cognitive theory defines transfer as the assimilation process between cognitive structure and new topic content by using the original concept of cognitive structure to analyze and summarize the content of the new topic through thinking, and on the basis of revealing the common nature of the new and old topics, the learning transfer occurs, that is, the assimilation process between the cognitive structure and the content of the new topic. In fact, migration is to bypass the same and draw inferences from one another. The "Mian" in the textbook "Xinling Jun Stealing the Fu to Save Zhao" can be the old topic, and the "Mian" in "Wishing Zi Mian to Rule the Widow" in "Ximen Leopard Governing Dong'a" is a new topic. Transfer is the further understanding and deepening of the original knowledge, which is the third step of learning the law. Students can only truly learn knowledge when they reach the point where they can transfer. The fifth step is creation, which is the fourth step of possession of knowledge. This is the highest level of learning, and it belongs to innovative education. Innovative education is the inevitable result of all-round development of education, and it is also the main theme of China's education reform in the 21st century. Only innovative education can truly reveal the essence of human beings. It is an inevitable trend of transforming knowledge-based and intelligent into a creative type, is carried out in the process of comprehensively promoting quality education, pushes quality education to a new situation, is the highest level of quality education, and is also an urgent need for the four modernizations. We, the teachers, must recognize the importance of innovative education and turn everything to innovative education. First of all, it is necessary to cultivate students' sense of innovation and innovative spirit, which is the commander and soul. Although today's students grow up in the new era, they may not all have a new state, not everyone admires the new, they have more or less traces of the old, and are often accustomed to the old set. When I was pioneering and innovating education, I also encountered resistance from the students, who did not understand, did not like, and were not used to it. Therefore, this innovative education is necessary. Students are not only taught to support innovation, but also actively involved in innovation. After perfecting the spirit of innovation, students are trained to innovate. At the heart of innovation is creativity. Innovation and creativity are not on the same plane, but belong to the same category. The connotation of creation is less than innovation, and creation is the concrete embodiment and final result of innovation, that is, invention on the basis of discovery. For example, students are encouraged to dispel superstitions and make bold assumptions, and advocate the use of different channels and methods to reach conclusions. As long as there is a reliable premise and an objective reasoning process, the teacher only makes some appropriate prompts and accurate evaluations. Or there is no prompting and guidance at all, and it is completely up to the students to analyze the question stem, establish the direction of thinking, choose a method and a series of procedures. This is an all-round, fully liberal independent operation, and then let the students present the conclusions and processes, and the teacher will evaluate and guide. Another example is a question or an essay that allows students to express their opinions and encourages them to disagree with the orthodox answers.
I have been attacked for these practices, saying that the level of teachers is not high, the sense of responsibility is not strong, the students who teach badly are not welcome, etc., I don't care about these slanders, go my own way, and let others say it.
Follow the modern teaching concept and show your personality clearly.
Innovative education is characterized by the individualization of the educational subject. Teachers should not extinguish the spark of students' individuality. "Individuality refers to the sum total of the essential and relatively stable psychological characteristics expressed in a person," and teachers "only by studying, understanding, and grasping the individual differences in students' psychology and then adopting different educational measures can they be conducive to the comprehensive implementation of the party's education policy, and to the discovery of talents, the early production of talents, and the emergence of more talents." This passage in "Psychology" belongs to the modern teaching concept, which discusses the importance of individuality, and innovative education emphasizes individuality. We must not only discover personality but also show individuality, and even cultivate individuality, in order to create angular pillars.
Personality is the structural mechanism of every student's innovation, and there can be no innovative education without it. In order to show individuality, it is necessary to give it a broad space and let it perform on stage, which develops the enthusiasm within the main body of the student, and can complete the formation of students' quality and the generation of innovation, and these are also the internalization process of knowledge, skills, and moral concepts. The influence of the external world can only be transformed into a stable feature of the subject through the active "absorption" of the student's subject, i.e., internalization, and will benefit them for life, laying a solid foundation for their lifelong development. This is made possible by democracy. Democracy is the way for individuality to manifest and the bridge between the hearts and minds of teachers and students. Teachers create a democratic atmosphere in the classroom, allowing students to think differently, speak freely, express their opinions without formality or dogma, ask questions anytime and anywhere, and refute arguments with insight...... Encourage the student's unique opinion, even if it is incorrect, affirm his active participation and bold performance, and correct his fallacies, over time, the student's personality will be distinctive, the IQ will increase, the ability will be formed, and the invention will be endless. My practice shows that the students are happy, the classroom atmosphere is active, and the results are remarkable, but this also attracts criticism, let him say it, anyway, go your own way!
Teachers should not only show the personality of their students, but also their own teaching. Teachers should have a hard-working, optimistic, cheerful and enthusiastic personality, have the courage to open up, dare to struggle, have a sense of competition, and work fast-paced and high-frequency. Personalization is also one of the outstanding features of the art of teaching in the classroom. The characteristics of personalized teaching art belong only to the creator himself, and it is difficult for others to copy, so he can only recreate it on the basis of observation and learning in combination with his own characteristics.
Specifically, there are the following points.
(1) Proportional allocation at the teaching level
Quality education is holistic. This kind of wholeness has three meanings, one is the whole of the educational object, the second is the whole of the educational content, and the third is the consistency of the quality education orientation of the content. As far as the first aspect is concerned, examination-oriented education is not allowed, it is only for those who want to go on to higher education, and this is only a part of the education object, and I do not do this, but for the whole or the majority. Some people criticized, saying that the students would be able to talk tirelessly, ignoring the cultivation of top students, I am both taken into account, teaching students according to their aptitude, the classroom gives the top students a certain space, allowing them to surpass themselves, and there are also top students "food" and drive students at other levels to rise, and the result is a bumper harvest. In the 2001 College Entrance Examination, I ranked first among the eight schools in terms of Chinese language proficiency.
(2) Bold breakthroughs in the form of training
Reading and appreciating is the highest level of Chinese subjects, and it is very difficult. How to overcome this difficulty, I think it is too restrictive to only follow the short answer form, if you give full play to the potential of students and have a complete system of training, then it is most effective in the form of writing articles. It has a large capacity and can be used to draw on the characteristics of literary criticism: clear opinions, sufficient arguments, complete reasoning, and numerous methods of argumentation. In the form of divergent thinking, follow the relevant theories of reading and appreciation, and include various ability points such as analysis, judgment, reasoning, induction, interpretation, and exploration into the article. As a result, the results are quite good, and there are both quality improvements and innovations. Of course, it is not a plate of loose sand, but there is a specific design, which melts dozens of training contents (knowledge points) into a furnace and emphasizes emotional elements, intellectual elements, etc., and I also went into the water and wrote a literary review "Listening to Thunder in a Silent Place? "Late Night, That Light" and other four novels review". Students have a wide range of opinions, and there are many opinions that go beyond the answers, and the opinions are novel and reasonable. Finally, the teacher used the "Three Cao Case" method (water composition, student composition, and standard answers) to give a commentary, which was very welcome and rewarded by the students.
(3) Cultivate self-study and group discussion.
Self-learning ability is a key point of quality education, and it is also the focus of innovative education. Teacher Wei Shusheng pays special attention to cultivating students' self-learning ability: "The most important thing for a teacher is not only to teach students the knowledge in front of them, but also to cultivate students' personality that is conducive to the future and mankind. If students regard the search for science as their greatest pleasure, greatest happiness, and greatest benefit, what can stop them from learning? "There is a prejudice in our country that ordinary high school students are of poor quality and cannot learn on their own, but in fact, as long as teachers recognize new ideas and correctly guide and cultivate students' self-learning ability, they will succeed. Someone said, "Learning to learn on your own means hiring a teacher who is on call." "Teacher Wei's approach is: raise awareness→ stimulate interest→ teach methods→ cultivate habits. In addition, I also have: assessment and acceptance→ commendation and encouragement→ experience exchange, and the results are very good.
Another point is the breakout sessions. According to Pedagogy, discussion "has a positive effect on cultivating students' positive thinking, delving into problems, independent thinking, improving their ability to analyze and solve problems, exercising their oral expression skills, and enlivening their minds, daring to express their personal opinions, and being open-minded and eager to learn." "I first do a good job of ideological work, stimulate interest, divide the organization, design a series of arrangements such as content, the result is in full swing, the master plays the backbone role, the poor students benefit from it, and complete the three aspects of the integrity of quality education, which also belongs to the category of innovation.
(4) Variation of guidance methods
"Pedagogy" says: "The use of teaching methods should be flexible and diverse, so as to prevent monotony and rigidity. What I am talking about here is mainly the variation in the way of guidance (which also belongs to the teaching method). That is, the fallacy method in the argumentation method. It can be summed up in sixteen words: skillfully set up the fog and lead astray. Suddenly woke up and returned to the basics. For example, when doing a training question, the teacher deliberately introduces the idea into a fallacy, and uses this as the premise to deduce, push back and forth, "the mountains and rivers are exhausted", and suddenly wake up to the mistake, "doubtful and no way", and then find a way to "shine and shine in another village", and return to the true source with a counterattack. This comparison and identification of errors and correctness can test whether students' abilities are "genuine" and interesting, and can also temper students' character of breaking superstition, insisting on independent thinking, and adhering to the truth. There are other variations that I won't go into here.
The final outcome and persistent belief
The above is what I have been thinking and doing for several years, and the results of the college entrance examination in the past few years have always ranked first among the eight ordinary high schools in the region. This iron proof proves that the path he is taking is correct, although there is no reward and commendation, and he is even criticized as deviant and unorthodox, but I have no regrets, I don't care about the gains and losses of honor and disgrace, and I have nothing to fear. The persistent belief is still: "Go your own way and let others do it!" ”
